The Shape
Nico de Andrea
The Shape 歌詞
He deals the cards as a meditation
在牌局中運籌帷幄是他冥想的方式
And those he plays never suspect
他從不會質疑自己所打出的每一張牌
He doesnt play for the money he wins
他打牌的目的絕非利益
He dont play for respect
也更不是為了獲得尊重
He deals the cards to find the answer
他打牌只為尋找人生的答案
The sacred geometry of chance
蘊藏在無盡可能之中神聖的幾何形狀
The hidden law of a probable outcome
看似偶然的結局掩藏著的亙古不變的規律
The numbers lead a dance
簡單的數字也可融合成一支炫目的舞蹈
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我深知黑桃來自士兵手中無情的利刃(黑桃源自士兵長矛的形狀)
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
也明白梅花象征戰爭中最危險的武器(梅花可能源自三葉草的形狀,代表幸福)
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
更知道方塊正如同這聖潔藝術中骯髒的金錢(方塊源自鑽石的形狀)
But thats not the shape of my heart
但那牌上畫著的絕非我心(紅桃)的形狀
The shape of my heart
我心的形狀
And if I told you that I loved you
若我告訴你我愛你
Youd maybe think theres something wrong
你肯定會認為有什麼事出了問題
Im not a man of too many faces
我並非擅用面具偽裝自己的男人
The mask I wear is one
我今生所戴的面具不過只有我自己的面容
Those who speak know nothing
喧嘩者往往一無所知
And find out to their cost
他們會斤斤計較著短淺的利益
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
就像那些抱怨命運不公的人
And those who fear a loss
戚戚然患得患失
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我深知黑桃來自士兵手中無情的利刃
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
也明白梅花象征戰爭中最危險的武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
更知道方塊正如同這聖潔藝術中骯髒的金錢
But thats not the shape of my heart
但那牌上畫著的絕非我心的形狀
The shape of my heart
我心的形狀
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我深知黑桃來自士兵手中無情的利刃
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
也明白梅花象征戰爭中最危險的武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
更知道方塊正如同這聖潔藝術中骯髒的金錢
But thats not the shape of my heart
但那牌上畫著的絕非我心的形狀
